After dishing out thousands of euros in trying to get my skin to look even and bright, I decided to change things radically. Just started doing this routine a week ago. Rosacea, outbreaks, dryness and patchiness is already gone. I use Cerave cleanser with a soft brush in the evening, I follow with the classic blue Nivea cream, and in the morning I just rinse my face with cool water and follow with Cerave cream with SPF. My skin is very even in color, no outbreaks, no redness...I don't think my skin has been looking and feeling this good in 20 yrs. Easy, simple and cheap seems to be the way to go.
This video is actually the cornerstone of everything or as we all the the very "beginning" the actual "START". Doctor Andrea once again debunks the whole complicated concept of difficult or overly high budget costly skincare routines. Simplicity is the key cleanse with mild fragrance free cleanser and then basic moisturizer and as a final touch or a dash of perfection i would say is the holy Sunscreen either be chemical or mineral. Reminding us something this important is crucial and essential to the core. Thanks once again Miss Andrea may you have a wonderful magical happy Tuesday only with smiles,laughs and lots lots of love and care. 💖💎💙😇🙏😊☺☀😁🙏
What is the purpose of putting a moisturiser under your sunscreen, because I’ve seen so many people doing it? Most products marketed as sunscreen are basically moisturisers with added UV filters, so if you wanted to simplify your routine, why do this extra step? I’m not criticising it or saying it’s wrong, by the way, I’m just genuinely curious why so many people basically put on two different moisturisers in the morning - one with SPF and one without.
@@patrikvavro1611 maybe this step is needed depending on the person’s age. My sunscreen is moisturizing but not enough to skip a moisturizer. If you are a teen w oily skin you may be able to skip the moisturizer.
I’d say this is advice for beginners. She is bringing awareness to people of what are the basic needs of one’s skin. But why stop here when we can do better by adding key import ingredients based on needs and age. 😊
I saw this video when it first came out and have been following this simple routine ever since + adapalene every other day for controlling my acne. I came back to say this.Dr Dray, you change lives. You changed the appearance of my skin. I am no longer ashamed to go make-upless, no longer self-conscious. Thank you! ❤
Dr. Dray is once again 100% on the mark! About two weeks ago I went "back to basics" to combat the cold weather and dry indoor heating in NYC. I use Vanicream facial cleanser at night, then the Vanircream daily moisturizer. Daytime is the same moisturizer along with the Vanicream sunscreen. And if it's really dry out, I use the Inkey List's Urea face cream. My "active" is the Inkey List's collagen peptide serum once a day. And wow, my skin is smooth, hydrated and dewy. I will try to stay on this regime and not be tempted by the last "it" creams and ingredients.

I have changed my skincare routine gradually to the routine Dr. Dray explained in this video and it has just made all the difference! I've been doing it for about a year now: Double cleanse, moisturize, sunscreen. My skin has just gotten sooo good! Easily the best it every was. Also, because it's been going so great, I have started incooperating niacinamide into my routine and there have been no problems. I can only recommend watching Dr. Drays video of how she does her own skincare routine. This has originally inspired me to change mine + it is so well explained. Thank you a lot, Dr. Dray! :D
Several nights when I’ve been tired, I’ve just washed my face with Cetaphil or CeraVe then rubbed on CeraVe Moisture Cream. In the morning I’ve used CeraVe cream again & that DRMTLGY universal tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. Simple, easy, good results even on my 72-year-old problem skin.

I am going to teach my young children about this! Hopefully save they lots of money on products they don’t need and set them up to understand the importance of a healthy skin barrier. Thanks Dr Dray. This should be taught in schools. Teenagers struggle with skin so much.

I am fully invested in your videos - I love the science you present and you explain it so well. Thank you for mentioning Tik-Tok and other influencers. Getting back to basics with our skin is essential. One year ago my skin barrier was very weak. I'm an educated consumer so I got back to basics and added the Avene Lipid Replenishing Balm. This was literally a game changer for me! I will be 65 in April. The difference this product has made is significant. My skin is no longer tight feeling and my fine lines are greatly diminished. I wanted to share. I love your videos!
I've gone back to the basics myself. No more high end creams that i just wasted money on. I use Cetaphil gentle wash and Cerave moisturizer. I use Cerave healing ointment on extra dry spots, my feet overnight, and my lips. My skin is bright and feels good. Even with this colder weather.
This video is PERFECT timing!!! My skin has been angry. I think overuse of drying products and not backing off when I should have. I would love a nighttime routine with adding retin-a back in the routine after giving my skin time to heal!!! Thank you for all your recommendations and awesome knowledge!!!!
Keeping it simple is always the best, whether it’s a skin care routine, hair care, diet or exercise. The fewer products you use on your skin or hair, the healthier they will be.

The more I've gotten into skincare, the less I'm spending, and the more boring it's gotten. I used to want all they super hyped ingredients. Now I just want as few as possible. My favorite ingredient now is petrolatum. And Vanicream has become my go-to brand. Definitely can't say enough about their cleanser.
Thanks Dr Dray. In 2021-2022, I went overboard with the amount of skincare products I was using and compromised my skin barrier and relapsed with cystic acne. Simplifying my routine to a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen from a brand I like, La Roche Posay, AND getting dermatologist treatment for my acne have helped me heal my skin. It’s been a journey but I’ve learnt my lesson that sometimes less is more ❤️ it’s a good feeling being once again comfortable in my own skin, literally
Such good advice. I notice my skin looks the best when I have the least amount of products daily. I also make sure to give my skin a rest from topical treatments and only use a moisturizer after cleansing the next day or two depending on what my skin needs. It’s not about hitting the number of products in a routine, it’s about giving your skin what it needs (and doesn’t ) to support it’s natural barrier.

The Cetaphil Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser is SOOOOO good. Try it if you have issues with CeraVe like I do (everything I've tried irritates my skin). Even better than my holy grail, Vanicream's face cleanser.
Thanks for this resetting video! A few years ago, when I found youtube skincare influencers and content creators, I was hooked. Watched everything, consumed everything, just loved it- a whole new world opened for me with lots of information and tons of new shiny products that promised me perfect skin. I came for the skincare, stayed for the community... but seriously considering to leave because of this insane over consumption, hauls, empties, new stuff, coupon codes, purchase pressure. To me, youtube skincare community reduced itself to a TV Teleshop channel. No amount of new skincare seems to be enough- just buy more more more. However, Basic Skincare is the best for skin and has been for millions of years. Skin is just skin- if you feed it well and protect it from the sun, it will stay healthy and beautiful. If you overfeed it, it will just ruin it.
☝🏼⬆️ THIS comment is me all over. Trying anything, everything and going broke while stressing my skin. Going back to basics ASAP. Dr. Dray winning as usual😁
Dr. Dray reminds us time and again that boring is better for skin care! You are my knowledge base for all skin care. Thank you so much for all you do with making these videos for us
I love my Dove Beauty Bar. Nothing cleans my face as well, including eye makeup. Plus keeps it makes my skin feel soft and comfortable. I enjoy Cerave and Cetaphil bars as well, but you can't beat the price of Dove!
I was using retinoids that were stronger than they should have been. It was fine for awhile, but then, especially around my mouth and lips (I didn’t even put any on them), began to peel and my lip had sore patches on them. I’m still dealing with it and learned a good lesson about taking things too far. My skin is normally very tolerant, but it can happen to anyone and there are reasons why drugs come at maximum strengths.
@@shawnee. I started correctly -retinol for a year, differing for a couple of months, then on to retinoids. 0.025%, then, 0.05% and then at 0.1%. It was fine until I got into a facility where I could make retinoids stronger than they manufacture. I was fine for a good while and then, BOOM, my skin got tight, flakey, but the worst are my lips, that are still recovering. The skin would peel off every day and eventually went down to the lower levels of skin. Talk about discomfort. I’ve stopped those powerful retinoids for a good month now, but I still have to constantly moisturize and top my lips with Vaseline and lipsticks always look textured on me. I’ve backed away until my skin improves notably and I’ve restarted with OTC retinols and so far so good. Thank you for asking -I don’t mean to ramble but it was a stupid thing I did and if I can encourage others not to take it too far in the race against age, I will. It’s not worth it.

I would also like to see what your morning and night routine currently looks like. With describing each product - why you chose it, what it does. It would be fun!
I learned the hard way that less is more ! Morning - cleanser , moisturizer & sunscreen Nighttime - cleanser , retinol & moisturizer I do facials on special occasion All the ladies with 15 steps skincare routine will regret it in their 50s
I have a much better grip on my skincare because of your guidance. I have quickly fixed irritation and dryness with my skin by following your advice. My skin looks amazing for the first time in my adult life. I'm 30 and my skin has never been clearer or healthier.

This has been so educational. I started on tretnoin about 3 months ago for fine lines, and I’m still going through the purging stage. This info is helpful Thanks❤
Vanicream gentle cleanser is my favorite. It’s really gentle and soothing and also a great cleanser, esp for those using retin A or anything drying to the skin.

Thank you Dr. Dray for educating me. I've always loved skincare more than makeup, I began taking care of my skin in my teens years as I have oily skin. Double cleansed without knowing it was they way to go, but intuitively, I just felt like I needed to. Then, in my 20s, as you know, my skin changed, and I began using SK2 products that cost me an eye, arm, and a kidney... they worked great, but I just didn't like spending the money but fell into the marketing trap that if it's expensive, it's good. Now, in my mid 30s naturally my skin has changed, and boy am I glad I found you!! I ditched the expensive products, I learned about what my skin does as I get "wiser", ingredients, and definitely price. I can go on and on what I've learned from you and my skin, my pocket, and I thank you!!!

My barrier has been completely destroyed from the dial antibacterial bar soap an infectious disease doctor told me to use after getting a MRSA infection from playing hockey. All bar soaps, including Cerave gentle cleanser bar soap, pure organic goat milk, olive oil, whatever it may be they dry my skin and cause severe atopic reactions. I always had perfect skin, tanned real nicely and could put moisturizer on. Now Im allergic to everything- pure shea butter causes severe hives. I only shower with water now but even that causes redness. I can't believe that I am going through this and- all these Cerave, Cetaphil, vanicream products contain chemicals that are known allergens such as lanolin, benzoate, and propylene glycol. Trying to get my skin barrier back without throwing chemicals on it has been next to impossible now.
Every single product in that pic- is so bad for my Malassezia yeast. I’m so over these products. I didn’t know for years they were doing it. Cerave in particular way over-rated.

Hi, Dr Dray!!! I always follow your instructions!!! I think that all these about skincare leads people to do thinks that damage their skin!!! It seems to be dangerus , when they don't Know what, for what and how they put some ingredients to their skin. Thank you for another so helpful video. Greetings from Greece! Have a nice day😍❤

Dr. Dray, thank you so much. I'm 41 and started to notice a) more irritation and dryer skin, b) confusion around a gazillion actives. Now I rely on Eucerin Advanced repair, Eucerin 50SPF sunscreen, and - every other night - Differin plus a Cos de Baha peptide serum. All irrition is gone and my skin is glowing. Might switch Differin for tret next year, but otherwise I'm so happy, thanks to you!
Loved this video because I did this quite intuitively before starting Tretinoine, and it is going so well (with a dry sensitive skin). My skin Barrier was broken from super Quick change un the weather + glycolic acid mask 😅 what saved me was the Aveeno calm and restore range + slugging with aquafor ! After that my skin was so hydrated and smooth (even textured acne scars were Smoothed out) that I decided to give Tret a try and it’s been going great (only two weeks in with one application a week)
I would be interested to see some analysis of mineral sunscreen pH levels and their impact on the skin barrier. I have tried to only use mineral sunscreens for a long time, but I find that they tend to have high pH (I don’t even have sensitive skin and I felt a burning sensation from Babo, which I then litmus tested around pH9); I have seen it mentioned in a few places that mineral sunscreens tend to be formulated with high pH because it improves their SPF testing results, but I am concerned about the impact a high pH topical has on skin barrier and raising the skin’s pH. Even brands I like that pH balance their products and are transparent about pH values, like Humanrace, have mineral sunscreens with pH I would view as high as enough to hypothetically bring the skin’s surface pH out of the acidic range. I’m wondering if this is a valid concern, or if maybe moisturizers underneath the sunscreen form a protective enough layer to allow skin to maintain an ideal pH. Can you provide some more context around this? I haven’t found any good information around it.
Dr. Dray, I hope you can help me. I am 63 and for the past year I have been dealing with contact dermatitis on my face, neck, chest and hands. After seeing 2 drs to get it diagnosed properly, I have identified SLS/SLES and urea as triggers, although I continue to get flare ups, never quite sure from what ingredient. I love skincare and this has rocked my world. My dr has prescribed 2.5% hydrocortisone gel, which I use during a flare up. My question for you is how do I strengthen the barrier of the palms of my hands? My hands hurt so much and are so sensitive, they never seem to heal from a flare up. Any tips for contact dermatitis? Thank you so much.

I have dry to combo skin sensitive mostly use no fragrance and careful with any oils but the one you recommended no problem . I try different skin care than usual on occasion it worked most times. Recently , I ordered a few things from Sephora and they sent free samples tried didn’t read seemed benign applied it overnight I was horrified turns out it had one of the acids in it AHA OMG THREE DAYS LATER STILL PUTTING CORTISONE on face ITS FEELING AND LOOKING LESS ANGRY but still red! This video great for me at the moment for sure. First time not reading ingredients just read front of free sample last time too…..thanks for all you do for this community online .
Happy Tuesday, Doc! My skin has been behaving well this home-heating season, with cold temps and wind not being as problematic than in winters of the past. I use moisturizer all day, and only cleanse my face in the evening in the shower, where I use very little cleanser overall on my body. Thanks for the education!
My skin needs a reset so I'm taking notes! Dealing with a large, very visible pimple at the moment. I'm too old for this! 😩 Thanks, Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday!! Hope you have a restful evening. 💙
Hi Mary!! I Hope Your Day Went Really Well!! I Had a Pretty Good Day!! I Love to Make Soups, There's Just Something about Having Them in Weather Like This!!

God Bless You Always my Sweet Friend!!🙏💤🐈🐈🦮🐕🥰💕🙏
I recently got the cetaphil salicylic acid acne treatment serum I saw on here and it worked great! I had a large painful pimple on my chin from trying the flawless shaver (another story) and this stuff had the whole painful bump gone the next day. Just a red dot that’s going away quickly. Other nice thing is unlike BP treatment I didn’t have to worry about bleaching my clothes and sheet.
BAM we are back to basics. Thank you for the simplicity. Cereva for the body, cetaphil for the face, my new urea cream you recommended for my face as night. I have neutragena moisturizer and retinal eye cream. Im pretty simply. Oh the timeless vitamin C.
This is great. I love the KISS approach. I have been trying to get consistent with my skin so that I can get a good peel and consultation for laser for dark spots that have not even faded.
I just want to say that this video was great, however I would like to point out that you put up a picture of Bondi Sands suncream and described chemical suncreams that use octinoxate and oxybenzone, two ingredients Bondi Sands doesn't use as it is damaging to the coral reefs.
Similar to other people's posts, I've switched to a simple skin routine. I am so pleased with Bondi Sands Sunscreen products. Thank you so much for guiding us to trying this sunscreen, Dr. Dray!!
I had a thought about a topic I haven’t heard you address. I’m diligent about my whole skin care routine but I have been having breakouts beneath my eye sockets. I’m 76 so this was unexpected. I wear glasses and I just realized that I haven’t been cleaning my frames as carefully as my skin. Duh. I’m just recontaminating my face! Now I take my glasses into the shower to give them a scrub.
Hello dr. Dray Thank you a lot for your time and effort explaining such scientific concepts in a simple comprehensible way. Your channel is one of my favorite and I've watched a lot of your videos. I really appreciate your honesty and your desire of sharing your knowledge. 🧡🧡🧡

Thank you for all you do Dr Dray. Really struggling to get back to even basic cleansing. My skin has become so stripped and raw, that I can’t use water on my face at all, even with all the suggested gentle cleansers. Think it’s a combination of the wetness and the friction created on my face, even using very very gentle fingertips. As a result cotton pads and cloths are also an absolute no. My skin will just not tolerate it or even the rinsing with luke warm water. I get the same reaction if I try to massage in wet moisturiser. Coming up to my third visit to a dermatologist and I’m no further on in healing my skin barrier after almost 4 months. I’m at a loss as I can’t even cleanse my skin so my face continually gets stripped and inflamed. What do I do when I can’t do the first stage - cleansing - of skin priming to begin to heal my skin? Am absolutely desperate
Hi Dr Dray, I'm curious if you would consider doing a video on nicolau balus syndrome? I know its rare and there's limited content covering this condition. Thanks !!!
Excited to try this!! I have been trying to find a good am & pm routine and have too many products. I don’t know which is irritating me. I went to the dermatologist and they put me on ZO. Made me feel worse!! I face just feels tight all the time!! I think back to basics is what i need.
Thank you, Dr Dray! what about a Moisturizer with SPF all in one? I use (and really like) La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair UV SPF Moisturizer for Face, Daily Facial Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30. I usually put it on after SC Triple Lipid Cream.
Morning Dr dray! i have been using the cetaphil moisturizing lotion the new fromula that has niacinamide for a month now and OMG it helped my skin a lot especially with my under eye area redness, what i love about it is that is a lotion ,lightweight and doesn't break me out but at the same time it moisturizes my skin and it help it heal faster especially after laser hair removal sessions .

I keep coming back to Cetaphil face and body lotion, on my face, I’ve used many expensive moisturisers but none of them settle my red patchy skin like Cetaphil the difference is immediate I use it morning and night, I’m 76,retinol products are too harsh for me and all those expensive products do nothing for me. I’ll put la Roche-Posay 50+ invisible fluid over the top if I’m outside or Estée Lauder futurist foundation with spf 20 for outings it’s a beautiful product not too heavy. Neutrogena have 50 spf which is equal to la Roche and much cheaper in price😀🌺I think over the years when I’ve bought expensive moisturisers ect. It made me feel good but did little else?
I've honestly been struggling with my skin and hair recently, and I've gone through the biggest rollercoaster about natural products, diy products, and the absolute abundant amount of myths around something that shouldn't be so hard to come up with. I have done so much research and had some hesitance with hyper refined products and you've completely changed my perspective. I was literally going down the path of unrefined products that, as you said, have an insanely large amount of other inactive or even actively harmful chemicals that would basically negate the effects that we are after. I'm just floored here. I bought a handful of vials of oils (rosehip, grapeseed, tamanu, neem, moringa, 2 butters, etc) along with vitamin e antioxidant and I was hoping to make a balm and a simple hair oil but now I'm hesitant. I'd love to hear some feedback about what I can do about all these fresh vials now

I've been using a few drops of vegetable oils at night over my moisturizer, for about a year, and never noticed any side effects; quite the opposite. They boost hydration and calm my skin. Of course, you only want to use a couple of drops. As for everything, moderation is key 🙂.
Pour oil on a spoon,rin se with cold water and still oil bubbles as cold water can't remove,rinse with with hot water and see oil come off easily. ...This is why hot water is so bad for the skin we need some oil to protect our barrier
I found this routine on your channel last fall, helped me prep for BBL Hero Laser treatment after Christmas. My skin recovered beautifully and I’m very pleased with my results, will continue this from now on. Just added back in the retinols. I have to cushion around my nose area with extra moisturizer to keep irritating effects down. Solid great advice!

Thank you for another informative video. I have an unpopular opinion: I don't wear sunscreen at this time of the year! Here where I live the UV-index is 0 all day, everyday for a loooong time during winter! Some of my moisturisers have SPF in them, which is an added bonus, but it's their moisturising and hydrating benefits I'm looking for.
My skin hates me the past few months, it was so clear and smooth, the only difference is that I have not been using my chemical exfoliant, because I had a few dry patches. Now my skin is textured, dry and oily. Also have been having inflamed breakouts. I use Cerave foaming cleanser, sunscreen and the moisturizing cream. Also the ordinary hyaluronic acid. The ordinary 2 percent lactic acid every 3 day. I have been a little inconsistent with the lactic acid and sunscreen lately, but I do work indoors.
This is perfect because I’m going to be doing a Chem peel in several weeks. And was basically going to just be very consistent with the basics a retinol and sunscreen.
@@raghdaaazizz4706 oh I’ve been using differin(retinoid) for a few months now. I started the retinoid to get my skin ready for a light peel. I’m going to do a glycolic peel. I’m slowly building a routine of skin cycling. Right now I do differin nightly and work to break my skin picking habit but Eventually my routine will be Day 1: Differin 2: BHA Exfoliant 3: Recover 4: Recover 5: Glycolic Peel 6: Recover 7: Recover Begin again So I’ll end up doing a light peel on a weekly basis, basically exfoliating 3x a week, and deep hydration 4x times a week Once I’m use to that routine then later on in the year I want to do a big TCA peel
This is the first time I am actually looking forward to doing less: I feel I mix and match to many products, my skin is more irritated now then it was before my advent calendar shopping😆 I don’t see that new shopping feature yet, sounds good though!
Thank you for this!!! I have been using Trentinoin since August and hadn't had a problem with it, but I have been using a lot of different products, and my face just went nuts! I just stopped all of my activities, including the Tret....
Every other day I do a simple routine of cleanser, SPF, and moisturizer. Using actives every day is just too much for my skin. I use retinol and the Paula's choice antioxidant serum on alternating days.

This seems to work great with younger people who are acne prone but for those of us over 30 who are struggling with sun damage and melasma, moisturizer and sunscreen alone won't do much. 😢
I started recently to use a soap-free cleansing bar (from Cetaphil) to wash my hands because I have dyshidrotic eczema. It seems to help, but I wonder if it kills bacteria and virus on the hands the same way than soap does ? It is flu and gastroenteritis season...

Any news on the Lumae or JOVS system of home skincare&lightening "spots",or even for all over? I'm just wondering,because I love your vids&info&trust what you say Dr.Dray. where I live we don't even have Drs,just 2 year PAs or NPs& tons of "counselors"& MAs,who work so hard!!! Like our poor nurses- anyway,as I'm not getting any younger(49 yr old Caucasian female human),any opinions on the home whitening tools,in conjunction with your favorite goos, night creams,acids gels,etc? Thanx Dr.D. ! - brandy
I never had a skincare routine until recently. I've tried basics like 2 years ago, but it was very inconsistent. I'd do it like once every other week or so.. But starting Decembern2022, I purchased a skincare box with a cleanser, toner, chemical exfoliant, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. I started using that twice everyday, except the exfoliant. I think it's been irritating my skin. My skin is always pink/red, in both my cheeks area and my chin area. Some days it's less irritated, some dares are more. I feel like it's always been a little pink, with also being a healthcare worker, I have to wear a mask 9 hours a day, the friction of the masks on top of all these skincare products are further irritating my skin even more.. I just purchased cotton masks from amazon, hoping they will help and currently am trying to go back to the basics, hoping further along, I'' be able to use toners, exfoliants, and serums and benefit from them instead of being irritated by them lol.
The healthiest thing for my skin is washing with lukewarm water to cold. Hot water completely ruins my skin and I hate that cause I love hot water so now I'm torturing myself and trembling in the shower just for my picky ass skin
Another Super Interesting Video Dr. Dray!! Your Knowledge is Incredible, Thank You So Much for Sharing With Us!! I've Learned So Much From You!!Happy Tuesday, have a Fabulous Day, and Week!! Love and Blessings Always!!🙏🕊🤍💕🤍🕊🙏

Dr Dray, please 🙏🙏🙏 reply me. I have very oily, acne, sensitive and light Rosacea. Please tell me Face wash ? Sunblock ? Moisturizer for oily skin? And Use of Niacinamid with Azlic acid ? I have the ordinary niacinamid and Azlic acid ? I don't understand English. Thats why I am asking you. I translate your reply in my language. Please guide me I am very disappointed. I can't face my family in this bad face. Now I have discoloration and want to neat and clean face. I am a big fan of you. And I Salute you. I live in Europe so tell me products which is available in Spain.
For some reason, I've developed dermatitis on one eyelid and at the corner of the other outer eye. It won't go away. I've been using Cervae PM moisturising lotion and healing ointment to no avail. I just bought a humidifier. I'll revise my skin care.
Hi Dray, im starting up on tretinoin for my acne do you think Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser would be a cleanser to use. I see it has niacinamide would this be a healthy ingredient for my skin on tretinoin ? Thank you 🫶🏼!
Part of my neck is red, and itchy, on the left and right side. Don’t know why. I thing it was the car seat belt digging in to my neck, but the other side is also irritated. What I put on my neck is the same as what I put on my face. Am- Timesless Vit C and timeless Q10, HadaLabo lotion, cerave cream or lotion, maybe Ordinary Azelaic acid 10%, maybe timeless squalane oil, and then a sunscreen. PM-double cleansing and then skII esscene, timesless Q10, hadalabo lotion, cerave cream or location, ,maybe ordinary Azelaic acid, maybe squalane oil, maybe corsrx snail moisturizer, maybe aloe Vera, and the final is Tretinoin .05% or differin .1% ,and maybe 5% la roche posay benzoyl peroxide where needed.

dr dray im concerned about Glycerin because it is a fat, and it goes into your face , it is basically making u fatter and i dont want to be fat in my face for the "plump" look that women want, as a man I want a slim face not bloated/puffy
Morning Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Tuesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Needed🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
I healed my skin recently, following Dr Dray's advice, altho I probably add too many serums still LOL. I was actually disappointed today because I went to add my 2nd moisturizer, but my skin is fully hydrated, so I had to stop. In November thru mid December, I was using 4-5 layers of moisturizer plus oils. The warming temps have helped, but I cannot believe that Black Girl Sunscreen was all I needed today! I mostly credit the new Gold Bond lotions, which I always use at night, and usually in the day. once you've got a simple, evidence based routine with affordable & effective products, you'll see some great results! I have found that, even when I package them fancy, I definitely use my affordable skincare products more generously (not excessively tho) and cover my arms, neck, & chest more thoroughly. I've added several body parts to my AM routine...my armpits & underbreast were always so itchy, I cannot believe I didn't think of giving them a little routine (benzoyl peroxide is a game changer!). Thanks doctor! And definitely try Dr Dray's methods - people out in the world just see your skin, not the products you use. You can always transfer your products to aesthetically pleasing jars and containers.

After dishing out thousands of euros in trying to get my skin to look even and bright, I decided to change things radically. Just started doing this routine a week ago. Rosacea, outbreaks, dryness and patchiness is already gone. I use Cerave cleanser with a soft brush in the evening, I follow with the classic blue Nivea cream, and in the morning I just rinse my face with cool water and follow with Cerave cream with SPF. My skin is very even in color, no outbreaks, no redness...I don't think my skin has been looking and feeling this good in 20 yrs. Easy, simple and cheap seems to be the way to go.
Thanks. Your Info is helpful ❤️😘
@Allah ki bendi why? My skin is the type that does better the less I do or less chemicals I use on it.
@@BagznBirdzhow old are you?
@@altsam9 44 yrs.
Are you still using these products now?
This video is actually the cornerstone of everything or as we all the the very "beginning" the actual "START". Doctor Andrea once again debunks the whole complicated concept of difficult or overly high budget costly skincare routines. Simplicity is the key cleanse with mild fragrance free cleanser and then basic moisturizer and as a final touch or a dash of perfection i would say is the holy Sunscreen either be chemical or mineral. Reminding us something this important is crucial and essential to the core. Thanks once again Miss Andrea may you have a wonderful magical happy Tuesday only with smiles,laughs and lots lots of love and care. 💖💎💙😇🙏😊☺☀😁🙏
Happy Tuesday
What is the purpose of putting a moisturiser under your sunscreen, because I’ve seen so many people doing it? Most products marketed as sunscreen are basically moisturisers with added UV filters, so if you wanted to simplify your routine, why do this extra step? I’m not criticising it or saying it’s wrong, by the way, I’m just genuinely curious why so many people basically put on two different moisturisers in the morning - one with SPF and one without.
@@patrikvavro1611 moisturizer at night, moisturizing sunscreen during the day
@@patrikvavro1611 maybe this step is needed depending on the person’s age. My sunscreen is moisturizing but not enough to skip a moisturizer. If you are a teen w oily skin you may be able to skip the moisturizer.
I’d say this is advice for beginners. She is bringing awareness to people of what are the basic needs of one’s skin. But why stop here when we can do better by adding key import ingredients based on needs and age. 😊
I saw this video when it first came out and have been following this simple routine ever since + adapalene every other day for controlling my acne. I came back to say this.Dr Dray, you change lives. You changed the appearance of my skin. I am no longer ashamed to go make-upless, no longer self-conscious. Thank you! ❤
Dr. Dray is once again 100% on the mark! About two weeks ago I went "back to basics" to combat the cold weather and dry indoor heating in NYC. I use Vanicream facial cleanser at night, then the Vanircream daily moisturizer. Daytime is the same moisturizer along with the Vanicream sunscreen. And if it's really dry out, I use the Inkey List's Urea face cream. My "active" is the Inkey List's collagen peptide serum once a day. And wow, my skin is smooth, hydrated and dewy. I will try to stay on this regime and not be tempted by the last "it" creams and ingredients.

@@Zombie101 I’d like to know too please
@@itsruckaswife7036 same lmk if you find it!
@@Zombie101 they're probably talking about the 10% Urea Moisturizer from them
I have changed my skincare routine gradually to the routine Dr. Dray explained in this video and it has just made all the difference! I've been doing it for about a year now: Double cleanse, moisturize, sunscreen. My skin has just gotten sooo good! Easily the best it every was. Also, because it's been going so great, I have started incooperating niacinamide into my routine and there have been no problems. I can only recommend watching Dr. Drays video of how she does her own skincare routine. This has originally inspired me to change mine + it is so well explained. Thank you a lot, Dr. Dray! :D
Several nights when I’ve been tired, I’ve just washed my face with Cetaphil or CeraVe then rubbed on CeraVe Moisture Cream. In the morning I’ve used CeraVe cream again & that DRMTLGY universal tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. Simple, easy, good results even on my 72-year-old problem skin.

this skin reset is my only skin routine daily 😂 guess i’m doing something right! simple and cheap is the way to go!!
It really is!
Same! It’s also inexpensive to use Tretinoin as your only active. That way you don’t need all the other confusing products.
As someone who tries to be cheap a simple routine really goes along way both health of the skin and healthy wallet
@@brigitte9999 that’s what i do! it covers like everything
@@bimjoker2233 vanicream is one recommendation that i heard is good
I am going to teach my young children about this! Hopefully save they lots of money on products they don’t need and set them up to understand the importance of a healthy skin barrier. Thanks Dr Dray. This should be taught in schools. Teenagers struggle with skin so much.

I just watched one of your older videos and I think we need to acknowledge your glow up over the last few years! You look so healthy and beautiful!
I noticed that as well. More of her personality has come out over the years as well. She’s the best Derm Doc.
@@SyKnife She does look great!
I am fully invested in your videos - I love the science you present and you explain it so well. Thank you for mentioning Tik-Tok and other influencers. Getting back to basics with our skin is essential. One year ago my skin barrier was very weak. I'm an educated consumer so I got back to basics and added the Avene Lipid Replenishing Balm. This was literally a game changer for me! I will be 65 in April. The difference this product has made is significant. My skin is no longer tight feeling and my fine lines are greatly diminished. I wanted to share. I love your videos!
Simple, gentle is the way to go for my dry, sensitive skin. Love CeraVe
👍🏼👍🏼
I've gone back to the basics myself. No more high end creams that i just wasted money on. I use Cetaphil gentle wash and Cerave moisturizer. I use Cerave healing ointment on extra dry spots, my feet overnight, and my lips. My skin is bright and feels good. Even with this colder weather.
This video is PERFECT timing!!! My skin has been angry. I think overuse of drying products and not backing off when I should have. I would love a nighttime routine with adding retin-a back in the routine after giving my skin time to heal!!! Thank you for all your recommendations and awesome knowledge!!!!
Same here. My skin has been angry too. This video came at the perfect time!
I’ve backed my tretinoin down to 4 nights a week. When the weather is cold, my skin gets really touchy. Her basic routine is my go-to!
Keeping it simple is always the best, whether it’s a skin care routine, hair care, diet or exercise. The fewer products you use on your skin or hair, the healthier they will be.

The more I've gotten into skincare, the less I'm spending, and the more boring it's gotten. I used to want all they super hyped ingredients. Now I just want as few as possible. My favorite ingredient now is petrolatum. And Vanicream has become my go-to brand. Definitely can't say enough about their cleanser.
Thanks Dr Dray. In 2021-2022, I went overboard with the amount of skincare products I was using and compromised my skin barrier and relapsed with cystic acne. Simplifying my routine to a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen from a brand I like, La Roche Posay, AND getting dermatologist treatment for my acne have helped me heal my skin. It’s been a journey but I’ve learnt my lesson that sometimes less is more ❤️ it’s a good feeling being once again comfortable in my own skin, literally
Such good advice. I notice my skin looks the best when I have the least amount of products daily. I also make sure to give my skin a rest from topical treatments and only use a moisturizer after cleansing the next day or two depending on what my skin needs. It’s not about hitting the number of products in a routine, it’s about giving your skin what it needs (and doesn’t ) to support it’s natural barrier.

These are my favorite types of skincare videos. I’d love to see a cruelty free products version 🙏
If you do a search, dr dray cruelty free, you'll find videos with products that would work for this.
I do know that Dove is now cruelty free, and DRMTLGY is cruelty free also.
The Cetaphil Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser is SOOOOO good. Try it if you have issues with CeraVe like I do (everything I've tried irritates my skin). Even better than my holy grail, Vanicream's face cleanser.
Thanks for this resetting video! A few years ago, when I found youtube skincare influencers and content creators, I was hooked. Watched everything, consumed everything, just loved it- a whole new world opened for me with lots of information and tons of new shiny products that promised me perfect skin. I came for the skincare, stayed for the community... but seriously considering to leave because of this insane over consumption, hauls, empties, new stuff, coupon codes, purchase pressure. To me, youtube skincare community reduced itself to a TV Teleshop channel. No amount of new skincare seems to be enough- just buy more more more. However, Basic Skincare is the best for skin and has been for millions of years. Skin is just skin- if you feed it well and protect it from the sun, it will stay healthy and beautiful. If you overfeed it, it will just ruin it.
☝🏼⬆️ THIS comment is me all over. Trying anything, everything and going broke while stressing my skin.
Going back to basics ASAP. Dr. Dray winning as usual😁
Dr. Dray reminds us time and again that boring is better for skin care! You are my knowledge base for all skin care. Thank you so much for all you do with making these videos for us
Thank you so much Dr. Dray. Your videos have help me so much to create an affordable skin treatment that has improved my skin notably.
I love my Dove Beauty Bar. Nothing cleans my face as well, including eye makeup. Plus keeps it makes my skin feel soft and comfortable. I enjoy Cerave and Cetaphil bars as well, but you can't beat the price of Dove!
I was using retinoids that were stronger than they should have been. It was fine for awhile, but then, especially around my mouth and lips (I didn’t even put any on them), began to peel and my lip had sore patches on them. I’m still dealing with it and learned a good lesson about taking things too far. My skin is normally very tolerant, but it can happen to anyone and there are reasons why drugs come at maximum strengths.
I'm curious what you were using and how often. I just started with retinol so very interested in your comment
@@shawnee. I started correctly -retinol for a year, differing for a couple of months, then on to retinoids. 0.025%, then, 0.05% and then at 0.1%. It was fine until I got into a facility where I could make retinoids stronger than they manufacture. I was fine for a good while and then, BOOM, my skin got tight, flakey, but the worst are my lips, that are still
recovering. The skin would peel off every day and eventually went down to the lower levels of skin. Talk about discomfort. I’ve stopped those powerful retinoids for a good month now, but I still have to constantly moisturize and top my lips with Vaseline and lipsticks always look textured on me. I’ve backed away until my skin improves notably and I’ve restarted with OTC retinols and so far so good. Thank you for asking -I don’t mean to ramble but it was a stupid thing I did and if I can encourage others not to take it too far in the race against age, I will. It’s not worth it.
@@christinamoller5742 I see , I see. Thank you for sharing. Low and slow is the way to go

PERFECT TIMING! I got so excited to see my skin clear up but I noticed I was using too much of products. Thank you so much. May God bless you!!!!
Thanks for watching
I learned the hard way that less is more !
Morning - cleanser , moisturizer & sunscreen
Nighttime - cleanser , retinol & moisturizer
I do facials on special occasion
All the ladies with 15 steps skincare routine will regret it in their 50s
Dr gray only applies sunscreen in the morning. Is that correct?
@@patriciaoertlinger6425 she recommends to reapply it every 2 hrs but I wear make up sometimes so I dont do it
I have a much better grip on my skincare because of your guidance. I have quickly fixed irritation and dryness with my skin by following your advice. My skin looks amazing for the first time in my adult life. I'm 30 and my skin has never been clearer or healthier.

Thank you Dr. Dray for educating me. I've always loved skincare more than makeup, I began taking care of my skin in my teens years as I have oily skin. Double cleansed without knowing it was they way to go, but intuitively, I just felt like I needed to. Then, in my 20s, as you know, my skin changed, and I began using SK2 products that cost me an eye, arm, and a kidney... they worked great, but I just didn't like spending the money but fell into the marketing trap that if it's expensive, it's good. Now, in my mid 30s naturally my skin has changed, and boy am I glad I found you!! I ditched the expensive products, I learned about what my skin does as I get "wiser", ingredients, and definitely price. I can go on and on what I've learned from you and my skin, my pocket, and I thank you!!!

My barrier has been completely destroyed from the dial antibacterial bar soap an infectious disease doctor told me to use after getting a MRSA infection from playing hockey.
All bar soaps, including Cerave gentle cleanser bar soap, pure organic goat milk, olive oil, whatever it may be they dry my skin and cause severe atopic reactions. I always had perfect skin, tanned real nicely and could put moisturizer on. Now Im allergic to everything- pure shea butter causes severe hives. I only shower with water now but even that causes redness. I can't believe that I am going through this and- all these Cerave, Cetaphil, vanicream products contain chemicals that are known allergens such as lanolin, benzoate, and propylene glycol. Trying to get my skin barrier back without throwing chemicals on it has been next to impossible now.
Every single product in that pic- is so bad for my Malassezia yeast. I’m so over these products. I didn’t know for years they were doing it. Cerave in particular way over-rated.

Hi Dr Dray So Excited to be here for Dr Dray time on Tuesday my favorite time of the day i live for this❤
Morning!
Hi, Dr Dray!!! I always follow your instructions!!! I think that all these about skincare leads people to do thinks that damage their skin!!! It seems to be dangerus , when they don't Know what, for what and how they put some ingredients to their skin. Thank you for another so helpful video. Greetings from Greece! Have a nice day😍❤

Dr. Dray, thank you so much. I'm 41 and started to notice a) more irritation and dryer skin, b) confusion around a gazillion actives. Now I rely on Eucerin Advanced repair, Eucerin 50SPF sunscreen, and - every other night - Differin plus a Cos de Baha peptide serum. All irrition is gone and my skin is glowing. Might switch Differin for tret next year, but otherwise I'm so happy, thanks to you!
Loved this video because I did this quite intuitively before starting Tretinoine, and it is going so well (with a dry sensitive skin). My skin Barrier was broken from super Quick change un the weather + glycolic acid mask 😅 what saved me was the Aveeno calm and restore range + slugging with aquafor ! After that my skin was so hydrated and smooth (even textured acne scars were Smoothed out) that I decided to give Tret a try and it’s been going great (only two weeks in with one application a week)
I love that Cerave cream in the tub.
I would be interested to see some analysis of mineral sunscreen pH levels and their impact on the skin barrier. I have tried to only use mineral sunscreens for a long time, but I find that they tend to have high pH (I don’t even have sensitive skin and I felt a burning sensation from Babo, which I then litmus tested around pH9); I have seen it mentioned in a few places that mineral sunscreens tend to be formulated with high pH because it improves their SPF testing results, but I am concerned about the impact a high pH topical has on skin barrier and raising the skin’s pH. Even brands I like that pH balance their products and are transparent about pH values, like Humanrace, have mineral sunscreens with pH I would view as high as enough to hypothetically bring the skin’s surface pH out of the acidic range. I’m wondering if this is a valid concern, or if maybe moisturizers underneath the sunscreen form a protective enough layer to allow skin to maintain an ideal pH. Can you provide some more context around this? I haven’t found any good information around it.
Dr. Dray, I hope you can help me. I am 63 and for the past year I have been dealing with contact dermatitis on my face, neck, chest and hands. After seeing 2 drs to get it diagnosed properly, I have identified SLS/SLES and urea as triggers, although I continue to get flare ups, never quite sure from what ingredient. I love skincare and this has rocked my world.
My dr has prescribed 2.5% hydrocortisone gel, which I use during a flare up. My question for you is how do I strengthen the barrier of the palms of my hands? My hands hurt so much and are so sensitive, they never seem to heal from a flare up.
Any tips for contact dermatitis? Thank you so much.

I have dry to combo skin sensitive mostly use no fragrance and careful with any oils but the one you recommended no problem . I try different skin care than usual on occasion it worked most times. Recently , I ordered a few things from Sephora and they sent free samples tried didn’t read seemed benign applied it overnight I was horrified turns out it had one of the acids in it AHA OMG THREE DAYS LATER STILL PUTTING CORTISONE on face ITS FEELING AND LOOKING LESS ANGRY but still red! This video great for me at the moment for sure. First time not reading ingredients just read front of free sample last time too…..thanks for all you do for this community online .
Happy Tuesday, Doc! My skin has been behaving well this home-heating season, with cold temps and wind not being as problematic than in winters of the past. I use moisturizer all day, and only cleanse my face in the evening in the shower, where I use very little cleanser overall on my body. Thanks for the education!
same with me, dr dray has helped me a lot
My skin needs a reset so I'm taking notes! Dealing with a large, very visible pimple at the moment. I'm too old for this! 😩 Thanks, Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday!! Hope you have a restful evening. 💙
Hi Mary!! I Hope Your Day Went Really Well!! I Had a Pretty Good Day!! I Love to Make Soups, There's Just Something about Having Them in Weather Like This!! I Think Tomorrow I'll Have Beans and Cornbread!! It's Suppose to Rain Tomorrow, and be Really Cold!! I Feel Do Sorry for the People in California, and All The Flooding, and They're Going ti get More Rain and Storms All Week!! I'll be Praying for Them!! Yes I Know What You Mean, Our Kitties are Our Joy!! As Usual I'm Getting the Tea Kittle Going, Gotta have my Tea!!Lol I Hope Your Evening Will Be Peaceful and Tranquil!! Sweet Dreams!! God Bless You Always my Sweet Friend!!🙏💤🐈🐈🦮🐕🥰💕🙏
I recently got the cetaphil salicylic acid acne treatment serum I saw on here and it worked great! I had a large painful pimple on my chin from trying the flawless shaver (another story) and this stuff had the whole painful bump gone the next day. Just a red dot that’s going away quickly. Other nice thing is unlike BP treatment I didn’t have to worry about bleaching my clothes and sheet.
Thank you!! 😊
BAM we are back to basics. Thank you for the simplicity. Cereva for the body, cetaphil for the face, my new urea cream you recommended for my face as night. I have neutragena moisturizer and retinal eye cream. Im pretty simply. Oh the timeless vitamin C.
Sounds complex
This is great. I love the KISS approach. I have been trying to get consistent with my skin so that I can get a good peel and consultation for laser for dark spots that have not even faded.
I just want to say that this video was great, however I would like to point out that you put up a picture of Bondi Sands suncream and described chemical suncreams that use octinoxate and oxybenzone, two ingredients Bondi Sands doesn't use as it is damaging to the coral reefs.
Similar to other people's posts, I've switched to a simple skin routine. I am so pleased with Bondi Sands Sunscreen products. Thank you so much for guiding us to trying this sunscreen, Dr. Dray!!
I had a thought about a topic I haven’t heard you address. I’m diligent about my whole skin care routine but I have been having breakouts beneath my eye sockets. I’m 76 so this was unexpected. I wear glasses and I just realized that I haven’t been cleaning my frames as carefully as my skin. Duh. I’m just recontaminating my face! Now I take my glasses into the shower to give them a scrub.
Are they milia? Can be your eye cream…
Thank you. You are the best. I am so grateful for you and your knowledge. You Rock!
thank you! hope you are having a great week

I'm definitely going to be doing a skincare reset, thanks for this! ❤
You're so welcome!
Thank you for all you do Dr Dray. Really struggling to get back to even basic cleansing. My skin has become so stripped and raw, that I can’t use water on my face at all, even with all the suggested gentle cleansers. Think it’s a combination of the wetness and the friction created on my face, even using very very gentle fingertips. As a result cotton pads and cloths are also an absolute no. My skin will just not tolerate it or even the rinsing with luke warm water. I get the same reaction if I try to massage in wet moisturiser. Coming up to my third visit to a dermatologist and I’m no further on in healing my skin barrier after almost 4 months. I’m at a loss as I can’t even cleanse my skin so my face continually gets stripped and inflamed. What do I do when I can’t do the first stage - cleansing - of skin priming to begin to heal my skin? Am absolutely desperate
I’m wondering if it is the type of water you’re using? Do you think maybe using distilled water may help instead of tap water?
I have all the above on your list 😔 it's awful. Thank you for all you do to help us get the best information for the skin.
Hi Dr Dray, I'm curious if you would consider doing a video on nicolau balus syndrome? I know its rare and there's limited content covering this condition. Thanks !!!
Excited to try this!! I have been trying to find a good am & pm routine and have too many products. I don’t know which is irritating me. I went to the dermatologist and they put me on ZO. Made me feel worse!!
I face just feels tight all the time!!
I think back to basics is what i need.
The first mineral SPF you showed (La Roche) has a tinted fragrance free version & I love it
Same! I just started using that one
Thank you, Dr Dray! what about a Moisturizer with SPF all in one? I use (and really like) La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair UV SPF Moisturizer for Face, Daily Facial Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30. I usually put it on after SC Triple Lipid Cream.
Morning Dr dray! i have been using the cetaphil moisturizing lotion the new fromula that has niacinamide for a month now and OMG it helped my skin a lot especially with my under eye area redness, what i love about it is that is a lotion ,lightweight and doesn't break me out but at the same time it moisturizes my skin and it help it heal faster especially after laser hair removal sessions .

I keep coming back to Cetaphil face and body lotion, on my face, I’ve used many expensive moisturisers but none of them settle my red patchy skin like Cetaphil the difference is immediate I use it morning and night, I’m 76,retinol products are too harsh for me and all those expensive products do nothing for me. I’ll put la Roche-Posay 50+ invisible fluid over the top if I’m outside or Estée Lauder futurist foundation with spf 20 for outings it’s a beautiful product not too heavy. Neutrogena have 50 spf which is equal to la Roche and much cheaper in price😀🌺I think over the years when I’ve bought expensive moisturisers ect. It made me feel good but did little else?
I so need this- timely as always. Vexing chin breakouts ... and flaking. 💜💜💜
Hope things improve
Dr Dray, could you address the evidence available about the effect of Tretinoin on meibomiam gland disease? I’d be soooo grateful.
I've honestly been struggling with my skin and hair recently, and I've gone through the biggest rollercoaster about natural products, diy products, and the absolute abundant amount of myths around something that shouldn't be so hard to come up with. I have done so much research and had some hesitance with hyper refined products and you've completely changed my perspective. I was literally going down the path of unrefined products that, as you said, have an insanely large amount of other inactive or even actively harmful chemicals that would basically negate the effects that we are after. I'm just floored here. I bought a handful of vials of oils (rosehip, grapeseed, tamanu, neem, moringa, 2 butters, etc) along with vitamin e antioxidant and I was hoping to make a balm and a simple hair oil but now I'm hesitant. I'd love to hear some feedback about what I can do about all these fresh vials now

I've been using a few drops of vegetable oils at night over my moisturizer, for about a year, and never noticed any side effects; quite the opposite. They boost hydration and calm my skin. Of course, you only want to use a couple of drops. As for everything, moderation is key 🙂.
Keeping skin care simply has saved my skin and wallet!
Pour oil on a spoon,rin se with cold water and still oil bubbles as cold water can't remove,rinse with with hot water and see oil come off easily. ...This is why hot water is so bad for the skin we need some oil to protect our barrier
Thank you so much for sharing your skincare expertise with us! I always look forward to the educational value of your content!
Thanks for watching!
I found this routine on your channel last fall, helped me prep for BBL Hero
Laser treatment after Christmas. My skin recovered beautifully and I’m very pleased with my results, will continue this from now on. Just added back in the retinols. I have to cushion around my nose area with extra moisturizer to keep irritating effects down. Solid great advice!

Morning Dray🌼happy tuesday! Sooo excited for this vid💟
Morning!
❤❤❤❤❤❤!!
Thank you for another informative video. I have an unpopular opinion: I don't wear sunscreen at this time of the year!
Here where I live the UV-index is 0 all day, everyday for a loooong time during winter!
Some of my moisturisers have SPF in them, which is an added bonus, but it's their moisturising and hydrating benefits I'm looking for.
And where would that be? Somewhere close to the Arctic circle? I'm asking out of curiosity 😁
@@greecegreece2022 West coast of Norway 😊
@@solveigw Oh, I see!
Dr Dray hope you can make a video on some chronic inflammatory illnesses like vasculitis and such
which vasculitis? there are several
@@DrDrayzday thank you! Hypersensitivity perhaps
My skin hates me the past few months, it was so clear and smooth, the only difference is that I have not been using my chemical exfoliant, because I had a few dry patches. Now my skin is textured, dry and oily. Also have been having inflamed breakouts. I use Cerave foaming cleanser, sunscreen and the moisturizing cream. Also the ordinary hyaluronic acid. The ordinary 2 percent lactic acid every 3 day. I have been a little inconsistent with the lactic acid and sunscreen lately, but I do work indoors.
This is perfect because I’m going to be doing a Chem peel in several weeks. And was basically going to just be very consistent with the basics a retinol and sunscreen.
What kind of chemical peel are you going to do and you are already using retinol or are you going to use it
@@raghdaaazizz4706 oh I’ve been using differin(retinoid) for a few months now. I started the retinoid to get my skin ready for a light peel. I’m going to do a glycolic peel. I’m slowly building a routine of skin cycling.
Right now I do differin nightly and work to break my skin picking habit but
Eventually my routine will be
Day 1: Differin
2: BHA Exfoliant
3: Recover
4: Recover
5: Glycolic Peel
6: Recover
7: Recover
Begin again
So I’ll end up doing a light peel on a weekly basis, basically exfoliating 3x a week, and deep hydration 4x times a week
Once I’m use to that routine then later on in the year I want to do a big TCA peel
This is the first time I am actually looking forward to doing less: I feel I mix and match to many products, my skin is more irritated now then it was before my advent calendar shopping😆
I don’t see that new shopping feature yet, sounds good though!
Thank you for this!!! I have been using Trentinoin since August and hadn't had a problem with it, but I have been using a lot of different products, and my face just went nuts! I just stopped all of my activities, including the Tret....
Every other day I do a simple routine of cleanser, SPF, and moisturizer. Using actives every day is just too much for my skin. I use retinol and the Paula's choice antioxidant serum on alternating days.

This seems to work great with younger people who are acne prone but for those of us over 30 who are struggling with sun damage and melasma, moisturizer and sunscreen alone won't do much. 😢
Tretinoin would be great start
I started recently to use a soap-free cleansing bar (from Cetaphil) to wash my hands because I have dyshidrotic eczema. It seems to help, but I wonder if it kills bacteria and virus on the hands the same way than soap does ?
It is flu and gastroenteritis season...

Any news on the Lumae or JOVS system of home skincare&lightening "spots",or even for all over? I'm just wondering,because I love your vids&info&trust what you say Dr.Dray. where I live we don't even have Drs,just 2 year PAs or NPs& tons of "counselors"& MAs,who work so hard!!! Like our poor nurses- anyway,as I'm not getting any younger(49 yr old Caucasian female human),any opinions on the home whitening tools,in conjunction with your favorite goos, night creams,acids gels,etc? Thanx Dr.D. ! - brandy
How long do you recommend healing the skin barrier for before adding other products? Thank you and love your videos!
I never had a skincare routine until recently. I've tried basics like 2 years ago, but it was very inconsistent. I'd do it like once every other week or so.. But starting Decembern2022, I purchased a skincare box with a cleanser, toner, chemical exfoliant, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. I started using that twice everyday, except the exfoliant. I think it's been irritating my skin. My skin is always pink/red, in both my cheeks area and my chin area. Some days it's less irritated, some dares are more. I feel like it's always been a little pink, with also being a healthcare worker, I have to wear a mask 9 hours a day, the friction of the masks on top of all these skincare products are further irritating my skin even more.. I just purchased cotton masks from amazon, hoping they will help and currently am trying to go back to the basics, hoping further along, I'' be able to use toners, exfoliants, and serums and benefit from them instead of being irritated by them lol.
The healthiest thing for my skin is washing with lukewarm water to cold. Hot water completely ruins my skin and I hate that cause I love hot water so now I'm torturing myself and trembling in the shower just for my picky ass skin
it can be super drying

Dr Dray, please 🙏🙏🙏 reply me.
I have very oily, acne, sensitive and light Rosacea. Please tell me Face wash ? Sunblock ? Moisturizer for oily skin? And Use of Niacinamid with Azlic acid ? I have the ordinary niacinamid and Azlic acid ?
I don't understand English. Thats why I am asking you. I translate your reply in my language. Please guide me I am very disappointed. I can't face my family in this bad face. Now I have discoloration and want to neat and clean face.
I am a big fan of you. And I Salute you. I live in Europe so tell me products which is available in Spain.
For some reason, I've developed dermatitis on one eyelid and at the corner of the other outer eye. It won't go away. I've been using Cervae PM moisturising lotion and healing ointment to no avail. I just bought a humidifier. I'll revise my skin care.
Hi Dray, im starting up on tretinoin for my acne do you think Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser would be a cleanser to use. I see it has niacinamide would this be a healthy ingredient for my skin on tretinoin ? Thank you 🫶🏼!
Part of my neck is red, and itchy, on the left and right side. Don’t know why. I thing it was the car seat belt digging in to my neck, but the other side is also irritated. What I put on my neck is the same as what I put on my face. Am- Timesless Vit C and timeless Q10, HadaLabo lotion, cerave cream or lotion, maybe Ordinary Azelaic acid 10%, maybe timeless squalane oil, and then a sunscreen. PM-double cleansing and then skII esscene, timesless Q10, hadalabo lotion, cerave cream or location, ,maybe ordinary Azelaic acid, maybe squalane oil, maybe corsrx snail moisturizer, maybe aloe Vera, and the final is Tretinoin .05% or differin .1% ,and maybe 5% la roche posay benzoyl peroxide where needed.

dr dray im concerned about Glycerin because it is a fat, and it goes into your face , it is basically making u fatter and i dont want to be fat in my face for the "plump" look that women want, as a man I want a slim face not bloated/puffy
Yes, I follow this recommendation daily using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Vanicream Facial Moisturizer, and Neutrogena Clear Face sunscreen.🥰
Morning Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Tuesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Needed🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….

Happy Tuesday Whitney hope you are having a great day my friend xoxoxoxo
Happy Tuesday Whitney Brown. Hope you are well and having a great day.
@@marizzy63 Happy Tuesday mary ann Gonzalez. Enjoy your day and take care.
I healed my skin recently, following Dr Dray's advice, altho I probably add too many serums still LOL. I was actually disappointed today because I went to add my 2nd moisturizer, but my skin is fully hydrated, so I had to stop. In November thru mid December, I was using 4-5 layers of moisturizer plus oils. The warming temps have helped, but I cannot believe that Black Girl Sunscreen was all I needed today! I mostly credit the new Gold Bond lotions, which I always use at night, and usually in the day. once you've got a simple, evidence based routine with affordable & effective products, you'll see some great results! I have found that, even when I package them fancy, I definitely use my affordable skincare products more generously (not excessively tho) and cover my arms, neck, & chest more thoroughly. I've added several body parts to my AM routine...my armpits & underbreast were always so itchy, I cannot believe I didn't think of giving them a little routine (benzoyl peroxide is a game changer!). Thanks doctor! And definitely try Dr Dray's methods - people out in the world just see your skin, not the products you use. You can always transfer your products to aesthetically pleasing jars and containers.
Do you recommend elta md? 😊
